OT: Tiger and Phil

I’ll update after 1st hole since there’s 200k on it that Phil makes birdie.
Appreciate it. I would have been watching, had I been home.
I'm not sure I understand the format. How could Phil be down 200K when they both par the hole?
Phil made a side bet of 100K that he'd birdie the 1st. Tiger said "double it" and accepted.

Something I'd like top keep on in the background, but too cheap. Maybe if this becomes a thing I'll tune in.
And Phil did a side bet on the 1st hole.

Paying $20 to watch Millionaires throwing around 200k like nothing, I’m gonna pass
Great. No need to piss on the thread, though. That 200k goes all to charity, BTW.
Go Phil!
I would have paid it, but I knew we were leaving to head downtown for the game around 4:30

Wow. I wonder if that is for real, or made up to give the show more drama?
I also wonder about whether the $200 K could be deducted as a donation to a charity, since it actually was a gambling debt?
Not sure. Tiger hitting everything right. Looks stiff. Phil 1 up thru 3. He’s in fairway on 4 and Tiger is right but safe.
I am not convinced that Tiger is back like most of the analysts think. Yes, he won the Tour Championship, but think about it. Tour events have 165 players and it gets cut to the top 60 and ties, which usually is 65-70. These are the guys that are playing the best for the week. I the Tour Championship he only had to beat 19 other players and there was not cut, obviously, so if the other 19 were off their game that week, then that is what he had to beat. Plus, even with a huge lead, he almost gagged it up and only won by two strokes. If you look at every other tournament, when he got in contention he hit it sideways. I think he is great for the game, but I do not think he will win another major.
Tour Championship is 30 golfers.
Out of curiosity, would you consider yourself a Tiger fan, hater, or neutral? If not a fan, who is your favorite golfer?
I would rather watch a cock fight than that and I don’t condone the fighting of animals it’s wrong
It’s unbelievable that he’s back to where he is. He couldn’t even sit in a chair a year ago.
On the other hand, he was top 5 at the pga and had the Sunday lead at the open
This is how i feel as well. Personally ive never been a Tiger fan but i respect what he did for the game and how good he was at his best. I wouldnt mind seeing him win another before its all said and done.
Yeah, I meant 30. I kind of like Tiger. I think he has overcome a lot of adversity. Lot of it of his own doing. I'm not one of those that go nuts over him, but I certainly don't pull against him, either. I really don't have a favorite player, but I think Tiger's return is great for the game.
Square thru 11. Both guys playing pretty bad. 20 bucks who cares. If I paid 50 I'd be wizzed off.
That's my point. He can come from behind and get close, or he can rally and get into the lead, but he cannot seal the deal. I just think the Tour Championship was a unique situation, and he survived, because nobody shot well that final day. Even at that, he lost the big lead and limped in with a two stroke win. With a full field, and a cut where those left are on their games, I just don't see him winning another major. Of course I could be wrong and he wins four more, but over 40 nerves just don't hold up as well. His body may not hold up either. His back looks ok, but I am not convinced that he wasn't on the juice. It would explain a lot of his injuries.
The most fascinating stat for me in regards to Tiger...with all his wins he's never come back from a deficit after 3 rounds. No come from behind wins. I believe I'm right in that, but not 100% sure.
That’s only in majors. He’s come back in non-majors plenty.
ETA: He’s also only relinquished a 54 hole lead once in a Major. When he’s on he’s on, but it’s hard even for someone as talented as Tiger to manufacture a Major Championship.
How the tabloid paper in London, The Sun, reported on this. Pretty bad reporting (if that's what they call it)....

It wasn't how good he was, since he was still a skinny kid when he won his first Masters. It was how bulked he got. You can work out, but when you're skinny, you don't bulk up like he did without help. The Dr. from Canada, who got convicted of treating athletes with steroids was treating Tiger. Tiger says it was for something else, but there was a lot of smoke, and what else would he say?
And these were pre-comeback. Sitting out for so long, especially after 40, takes its toll.
Crybaby Brits, still mad because fat Monty never won a major.
Sure. The checks will be paid to the charities. How the check came about isn't relevant.
